RTL LEGO

A Digital Hardware Generator and Integrator

The aim of this project is to create a framework that can be used to generate and intergrate RTL components. User should be able to connect components from a library of generic RTL components and existing IP blocks to create Digital Hardware.

Here is brief discription of files that how to proceed them

./install.sh

install will create commands (create/ plug/ connect) in your terminal. You can use these commands to create project, create instance and connect instances.

Here is the command to run install file

  ./install.sh

After running this file you can use following commands in your terminal

To create Top level file

create 

To veiw avalible files in library

list_lego 

To create instances of library files in your Toplevel file and plug registers,mux etc

plug 

Use add to add reg/wire/ranges etc

add 

Use connect to connect ports of instances

connect 

Here is the brief discription of commands

create

This command will create a file with name given in argument. If you don't give any argument then it will create a file with name Baseboard.sv with defult clk and reset inputs.

create -f filename

if you want to add more inputs and outputs in the file use following commands

create -f filename -i inputs -o clear result -ir None [5:0] -or None [3:0]

list_lego

This command will list all the files that are present in the library.

list_lego

To view the content of a file use following command

list_lego -f filename

To edit a file use following command

list_lego -e filename

plug

plug command can create instance of a file. You can use this command to create instance of a file that you have created using create command or you can use this command to create instance of a file that is already present in the library.

By default it will create instance of a file with its own name you can use different name by -i argument. and will create instance in current or recesnt created .sv file (make sure you are in that .sv file Dir) To plug instance in older (other then previous) ure -t Topfile name

plug -inst file_name -n instance_name 

plug command can also add comments like register, mux to the Top file.

To add register use following command

plug -r <register> -i <inputs> -o <outputs> -en <enable>

To add mux use following command

plug -m <mux> -i <inputs> -o <outputs> -s <select>

add

To add Extra input/output port port,parameter,wire,reg or change-range of input/output or chnage the status of input/output use add command

To add port use following command

add -p <port> -i <inputs> -o <outputs>

To add Parameter use following command

add -P <Parameter> -v <value>

use '' to add string value

add -P <parameter> -v '"HIGH_PERFORMANCE"'

will add parameter = "HIGH_PERFORMANCE" to the file

To add local parameter use following command

add -lp <localparam> -v <value> -inst <instance>

To add wire use following command

add -w <wire> -rn <range>

To add reg use following command

add -r <reg> -rn <range>

To change the range of input/output use following command

add -c <change> range -pr <port_name> -nr <new_range>

to change the status of input/output use following command

add -c <change> port -pr <port_name> -ns <new_status>

connect

After creating instances you can connect them using connect command. You can connect instances of files that you have created using create command or you can connect instances of files that are already present in the library.

connect two instances

connect -i <instance1> -ip <input_ports> -o <instance2> -op <output_ports>

connect port to parameters

connect -P <parameters> -i <instance> -ip <input_port>

connect port to wire

connect -w <wire> -i <instance> -ip <input_port>

connect port to reg

connect -r <reg> -i <instance> -ip <input_port>

connect port to input/output

connect -i <instance1> -ip <input_port> -op <output_port>

delete

you can delete instance or port or parameter or wire or reg using delete command

delete instance

delete -i <instance>

delete port

delete -p <port> -i <instance>

./uninstall.sh

To uninstall the commands run ./uninstall.sh file

./uninstall.sh
